Look for the Arabian Horses

Pakistan is a huge problem for which I have yet to hear a good solution.

As I was reading the article, the following paragraph struck out to me:
"They ride horses, Arabian horses; we don’t have horses like this in Waziristan," Jan said. "The people from the town take food to the Arabs’ horses in the mountains. They have seen the horses. They have seen the Arabs. These horses eat better than the common people in the town."
Upon reading it, I thought: I hope the CIA is looking for Arabian horses. The horses are more likely to be out in the open than the Arabs, and with trained personnel, they should be easy to spot.
